As a small example, if you buy a new cellphone, then when it is turned on for the first time, the cellphone will ask you to log in first using the Gmail account you have. You can also save document files to Google Drive, save photo and video files to Google Photos, or maybe just view news on Google News. But do you know, if Google has been secretly storing your data? Here I will explain, what are the five important personal data.

PHONE CONTACT

When you save someone’s phone number and save it to your Google Account, the contact will automatically be stored in your Google Account forever. Even if you change your smartphone, the phone number that you have saved will reappear when you log in to your Google Account.

GOOGLE PHOTOS

Google Photos is a free photo and video storage medium. With the unlimited storage feature, you can save as many photo and video files as you want with high-quality upload sizes using only your Google Account. And if you need it at any time, you can re-download your memorable photos or videos through this Google product. Simply by activating synchronization, the photos and videos on your smartphone will be automatically saved when your smartphone is connected to wifi.

RECORDING ACTIVITY HISTORY

Without you knowing it, it turns out that Google is also secretly recording your every activity through your smartphone. Whatever you do with your smartphone, it will be recorded, unless you turn it off. The benefit itself is that way you can see your smartphone activity when used by relatives, friends, or other people. And the benefit for parents is, that way we as parents will be able to control the activities our children do while using smartphones. In the activity history, the history of the use of mobile phones using your Google Account will be displayed, ranging from applications downloaded, and applications run, to sites visited.

RECORDING TRAVEL HISTORY

It turns out that secretly, Google also records every travel history you take. Wherever you go, by default Google will save your travel history. For example, if you go to a certain restaurant or cafe, then Google will save your travel history, or maybe you travel out of town, then Google will save your travel history. To see the history of your trips.

SAVE PASSWORD

Google can also store all your password data. The password or password is a very secret and private thing. So every time you enter a password or password on a site or an application on your android, then Google product will give you a choice, whether you allow Google to save the password or not. I prefer to keep it. This is very useful if we forget the password or password. If you want to see if your Google Account stores password data or passwords that you have previously allowed to store.

It’s clear enough… Those were some important and personal data stored in your Google Account. But one thing you need to know is that Google keeps all the data in your Google Account confidential. So you don’t have to worry about it. Your data will be safe with Google.
